Last night, if Pittsburgh locals looked up into the sky then they may been in for quite an unusual surprise. This is because a total of 18 small, white lights were moving in a straight line. If you’ve never seen something like this before then you may have been shocked. Let’s face it, this isn’t a typical sight that you’d expect to see in Pittsburgh either.

As a result, various theories emerged on social media, with some even believing it could be some kind of UFO formation or military sighting. However, the truth is actually a lot less exciting. In fact, this is actually all down to Elon Musk.

The reason for this is that it’s actually his Starlink satellite service. This is under his SpaceX company which gives broadband coverage to over 60 coverage. While these satellites have been in the skies since 2019, they’ve only just become more frequent.

As a result, more and more Americans have started seeing them which can sometimes lead to confusion. If you check this website then you can also track the Starlink journey. Unsurprisingly, this journey was also tracked flying over Pittsburgh throughout the past few days. With this said, the chances are that Pittsburgh will be seeing Starlink a lot more over the coming months and years so if you did miss your chance to see the satellites then you’ll be able to catch them again at some point.
